literary review

A literature review is a comprehensive summary of previous research on a topic. The literature review surveys scholarly articles, books, and other sources relevant to a particular area of research. The review should enumerate, describe, summarize, objectively evaluate and clarify this previous research. It should give a theoretical base for the research and help you (the author) determine the nature of your research. The literature review acknowledges the work of previous researchers, and in so doing, assures the reader that your work has been well conceived. It is assumed that by mentioning a previous work in the field of study, that the author has read, evaluated, and assimiliated that work into the work at hand.
A literature review creates a “landscape” for the reader, giving her or him a full understanding of the developments in the field. This landscape informs the reader that the author has indeed assimilated all (or the vast majority of) previous, significant works in the field into her or his research.

when you did what you did to me. The delicate way
you quit my name out your mouth. Leaf subsiding to leaf
the oji-chan will keep sweeping them away. Things happen here
while they can. Pray then, let me stay by my own side.

Martin Amis said: “In Literary Review you find something that has almost vanished from the book pages: its contributors are actually interested in Literature.”
Founded in Edinburgh in 1979, Literary Review is Britain’s best-loved literary monthly, providing sixty-four pages of witty, informative and authoritative reviews each month. It covers everything from history, biography and politics to literature, art and travel, and its contributors include some of the best writers and thinkers of the day.
